Raphinha 8, Luke Ayling 4; Robin Olsen, 8, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 7: Leeds v Everton player ratings

Despite being dominated for much of the game at Elland Road, visitors left with a 2-1 win

• 

  LEEDS UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: Illan Meslier, 6 - Outside of the two goals that he couldn’t do much to prevent, Leeds’ number one made some decent saves on an eventful night in Yorkshire. Reuters

• 

  Luke Ayling, 4 - From not tracking back for the opening goal to losing his man for the second, it was a horrible night at the office for Ayling. Reuters

• 

  Pascal Struijk, 5 - Needs to work on improving his partnership with Cooper and should’ve followed the passage of play better for Sigurdsson’s goal. AP

• 

  Liam Cooper, 5 - Often looked like a deer in the headlights with poor vision and poor physicality, especially for Everton’s second. AFP

• 

  Ezgjan Alioski, 6 - Produced one of the best moments of the game with a volley that struck the post in the first half, and after that, his sustained pressure was one of Leeds’ best assets. AP

• 

  Kalvin Phillips, 7 - Tracked back well and had a few nice deliveries even if he did occasionally get lost in the chaos of the tempo. EPA

• 

  Raphinha, 8 - Far and away the best creative outlet for Bielsa’s men and was able to get his much-deserved reward for that with a well-placed finish. AP

• 

  Mateusz Klich, 4 - Couldn’t hold the ball up, rarely made a good decision when in possession and killed off a few important Leeds attacks. AP

• 

  Stuart Dallas, 6 - Looked lost in the first half and didn’t seem to fill in the gaps in the middle of the park, with part of the blame for that probably being the clear lack of chemistry with Klich. Reuters

• 

  Jack Harrison, 5 - While he may have battled hard in the build-up to Leeds’ goal, Harrison gifted Everton the ball prior to their opener and made a string of questionable tackles. PA

• 

  Patrick Bamford, 7 - Improved as the game went on and managed to grab a tidy assist, but overall, probably wasn’t given the service he needed to make an extended impact. Reuters

• 

  SUBS: Pablo Hernandez, N/A - His only real contribution was a sloppy pass in what was a fairly unremarkable cameo on Wednesday night. Reuters

• 

  Helder Costa, N/A - Very active upon being introduced and played in a few nice crosses in the dying minutes. Getty Images

• 

  Tyler Roberts, 5 - Sat quite wide, spent too much time dithering and blazed his best effort high over the bar in injury time. Reuters

• 

  EVERTON PLAYER RATINGS: Robin Olsen, 8 - In one of the most crucial passages of the game, Olsen pulled off three or four stunning saves just after the hour mark to ensure the Toffees remained 2-1 up. AP

• 

  Lucas Digne, 6 - There are plenty of great things to say about Digne’s low cross for the first goal, but defensively speaking he was often out of position and a bit of a liability. AFP

• 

  Ben Godfrey, 8 - Covered lots of ground at the back, provided a good assist with a well-timed header and generally felt very composed for the visitors. Reuters

• 

  Yerry Mina, 6 - Not being able to properly deal with Leeds’ pressure for the goal is concerning, but this was still a typically confident display from the Colombian. Getty Images

• 

  Mason Holgate, 5 - Should’ve cleared the ball away when given the opportunity to do so in the lead-up to Raphinha’s goal and proceeded to look far too lethargic after that. AP

• 

  Andre Gomes, 7 - Despite fading slightly in the second half, Gomes was near enough perfect in the first 45 minutes with a controlled midfield display. Getty Images

• 

  Abdoulaye Doucouré, 6 - Needs to work on his pace when the opposition are coming forward, but his own strides into Leeds’ half did make a big difference for Everton. AFP

• 

  Richarlison, 5 - From a lack of urgency to sitting way too deep, this performance proved why some Everton fans are concerned about the Brazilian’s form. Reuters

• 

  Gylfi Sigurdsson, 7 - Even with some lapses in concentration and slow reactions, this was still a good showing from Sigurdsson with a goal and a vital role in the second. AP

• 

  Alex Iwobi, 5 - Always looks confident until he starts running backwards with the ball without any real idea of where he’s going. Reuters

• 

  Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 7 - Did a solid job of trying to stretch Leeds defensively and even managed to break his goal drought with a nice arrival and header to make it 2-0. AP

• 

  SUBS: Michael Keane, N/A - The Englishman made some key blocks and tackles to help preserve Everton’s victory. EPA

• 

  Tom Davies, N/A - Appeared to be quite nervous in all aspects of his play and was only really brought on as a fresh pair of legs. EPA

• 

  Joshua King, N/A - Couldn’t get into the right rhythm and probably needed to be substituted on earlier than he was. PA

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin both scored to lead Everton to a 2-1 Premier League win at Leeds United on Wednesday and revive their hopes of a top four finish.

Leeds dominated throughout but Everton took a ninth-minute lead through Sigurdsson who steered a sharp low cross by Lucas Digne past goalkeeper Illan Meslier before Egzjan Alioski rattled the woodwork at the other end.

A string of saves by keeper Robin Olsen, who stood in for the injured Jordan Pickford, kept Everton in the driving seat and the visitors struck again in the 41st minute as Calvert-Lewin dived to head home at the far post.

Leeds pulled one back shortly after the break when Brazilian winger Raphinha side-footed past Olsen after Mason Holgate failed to clear the danger and the hosts then pegged Everton back.

The outstanding Olsen made four stunning saves in the space of 30 seconds midway through the second half as Everton ground out their fourth successive away win, bouncing back from Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Newcastle United.
